Additional warning: This story may never be done; as mentioned below in the 'Some Author's Notes' section, the muse has pretty much stalled out on this BUT, as per same notes, feel free to send ideas/suggestions to help finish!!

No disrespect is meant to all those who created the worlds that we love to play in and the characters whom we love to read/write about. To the actors/actresses/beings who portray those characters, we wouldn't love them as much as we do without your talent and dedication.

Some Author Notes:

1) 'Caly' is the short form of 'Calypso' which has a definition of: 'she that conceals' or 'to cover, to conceal'

2) Let's face it, many of the superheroes were created a long time ago and, for whatever reason, they weren't concerned with keeping dual identities. In this story, Aquaman, Cyborg, Impulse and even Clark, wear masks when they are out and about.

I've gone back to this story many times, re-reading it to try and get the muse interested in finishing it but... no such luck yet.

I know Chloe doesn't die -- in the chapter that is in the 'midst' of being written, her body heals itself but she's still 'sleeping' but... that's as far as I've gotten.

If anyone wants to share some ideas/suggestions on where you *think* it might be going or etc., PLEASE feel free to do so.

I've actually been doing a lot of Numb3rs fic but I'm than happy to come back to 'Truth & Justice' to at least finish it.
